Dear Students and Families:
As a district, we are committed to student learning and believe that effective communication is an essential part of the process. We believe that this system involves three invested parties--teacher, student, and parent/guardian--with the student at the center. Therefore we have adopted an online gradebook with a desire to share details of academic progress and increase student responsibility. We hope access to information helps both students and parents/guardians track and understand student progress in individual classes.
At WHS we also recognize that grades are but one of several tools that can be used to monitor student achievement. Our high school believes that although reporting grades is necessary, it is more important to emphasize the learning, growth, and development of all students.
Sincerely,
Mr. Brian Callaghan
